#3 I’m Feeling Lucky by Douglas Edwards
 |
Who recommended this book? This was recommended by Alek Asaduryan from YesCycling. |
Everyone who has a computer knows what Google is. I use it at least once a day, and as a regular user, I often wondered how they got started, who came first, etc.
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this book before it went on sale after reading about it on Reddit. The books start a little bit slow at the beginning but it warms up after that with a lot of interesting stories from the kitchen of Google.
The story covers the first five years of Google from the perspective of employee no 59. A must-read for everyone interested in computers, and history of the technology as a whole.

#6 Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords by Perry Marshall
 |
Who recommended this book? This was recommended by Adam Thompson from ReliaSite. |
This book is a good, un-biased look into how to run Google Ads. (Asking Google for a advice on running Google ads is like asking a seller how much you should pay for their house – their advice is going to be very biased.) Perry gives insights into how Google runs as well as great info on how to make your ad campaigns more profitable.
